For Her - Poem by Randy McClave

I have traveled over a thousand milesI have been greeted by both hugs and smilesI have traveled over oceans and landsJust to reach my destination and to hold her hands, I have been by myself and all aloneI have cried to myself and I did moanMany afflictions to me did occurBut I did it for me, but mostly for her, I have been pushed against the wall and I foughtI would win the battle that I had soughtTo any situation I believed I will never accept noSo I fought that much longer and forward I did go, I have worked my fingers down to the boneI earned what I had and nearly lost what I did ownBut from all of these factors I did not deterAs I did it for me, but mostly for her, I have fought for love, but then sadly I lostMy pain and my sadness was the ultimate costI journeyed for love, but that idea went bustWhile I was looking for love, she was seeking lustI have given all I had I had nothing more to giveExcept for the air that I breath and the life that I liveI wanted us to be one, but then I thought that we wereAs I did it for me, but I did it mostly for her.
